Setting parameters for custom HTML

For simple branded HTML pages, you can adjust the look and feel of the default output to match your company
style by setting parameters to include custom CSS, header branding, or table-of-contents navigation in topics.
(These changes do not require a custom DITA-OT plug-in.)

Adding navigation to topicsIn HTML5 output, you can set a parameter to include table-of-contents navigation in the <nav> element of each page. The navigation can be rendered in a sidebar or menu via CSS.

Adding custom CSSTo modify the appearance of the default HTML output generated by the DITA Open Toolkit, you can reference a custom Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) file with the typography and colors that define your corporate identity.

Adding custom headers and footersYou add a custom header to include a publication title, company logo, or other common branding elements in HTML output. A custom footer can also be added with copyright information, legal boilerplate, or other fine print.
